Francis Sherman

Francis Sherman (1871-1926), born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, attended his town's college, where the headmaster George Parkin, who had already taught Charles G. D. Roberts and Bliss Carman, gave him a taste for Rossetti and Morris. Entering university in 1886, he had to leave after a year for lack of money and joined the Merchants' Bank of Halifax, at Woodstock. A branch manager at twenty-seven, he was sent in 1899 to Havana as the bank's first agent and stayed there thirteen years. He went overseas in 1915, left the bank in 1919 and ended his days in Atlantic City.
